So the tool makes it so that less things need to be removed. Nice. It makes sense that this would make the job easier and take less time. Any idea on the time difference between this tool/process vs the old way? Days? Hours? Weeks?

I should also say that I have ZERO idea what kind of time the current/non-tool method requires. I'm just curious and a little excited about the idea that it can really help professionals as well.

I've never done the job - but having witnessed a few, I'd say 1 day vs 2 days.
It looks like the X's have much more room to work then the 5s or 7s

I'm on the list.
They said it's 3 weeks now.

Question: the valve seal kit according to realoem has p/n 11340029751.
Are these the same as the original ones, or are these a different batch (improved)?

Thanks Alan!!!!!

Martin from AGA pointed out "improvements" on a red colored valve stem seal. I did not have a new brown/black seal - we compared it to an old seal being pulled off an engine. I'd try to stick with red in color seals.
